Please help getting conflicting advice!!!

The durabase stuff is pretty thin and should not make any difference to the levels for the tiles if properly applied. yes just tank the area that is going to be getting quite wet. The rest should be ok.

dot and dab (12.5mm) plasterboards, no pva, tanking, tiling (single part flexi adhesive):20:

yes just tank behind the shower area tiling , it wont cause a step in your tiling and wont show when its done

it sounding a bit complicated but it isnt really, just be methodical and take your time

Ok cheers guys, must say really impressed with forum. I was expecting to have to wait a few days for a reply if i was lucky!!! So much appreciated. :hurray:

One final thing, can anyone reccommend a good adhesive and a good grout??

 

[doug boardley]

mapei do a good range to suit all tile types

 

[mikethetile]

you may have to buy mapei from b&q under the buildfix name but good choice

It will depend what tile shops stock around your area, as doug say's Mapei good stuff to work with. Better to get the addy from tile shop though,not Diy stores.

To long typing. As above

i'm in glasgow so can get to all major sellers, so if you's could reccommend, adhesive to stick plasterboard to brick, then adhesive for tiling and grout that would be fantastic!!! :hurray:

 

[DHTiling]

Builders merchants for your plaster boards( 12.5mm) and dry wall adhesive then CTD for your Mapei keraquick and wall grout......for the amount of membrane you need then just get some from CTD..

You should always use moisture resistant plasterboard in any bathroom situation.
